My thoughts have been occupied of late with the terrible tragedies in Burma and China. The terrible pictures I see coming from these areas are heartbreaking and it makes one feel so helpless. My prayers have been numerous for the people who lost their lives and those who suffer from agonizing loss. I wish there was more I could do.
Sometimes prayer changes me more than the circumstances.

The Prayer Stop sits by the side of a two-lane road, New Hampshire Avenue, way out in the Maryland suburbs of Washington, D.C. It was built in 2002 by a member of the neighboring Immanuel's Church. He wanted to reach out to people who need prayer, but might be intimidated by a large church (Immanuel's has 3000+ members; the Prayer Stop is reported to seat 4). The man who started the Prayer Stop had hit rock bottom, drinking heavily, and had been convicted of a serious felony. After having a religious turn-around, he wanted to help others with his ministry. When I visited it, it was decorated for Christmas, and there was a note tacked to the door which indicated it was closed for the day, but that the church is still operating it one of their missions.
